Seasons greetings & Best wishes to all of you.
I and our club members thank Lion Dr.D.Ashok, Region Chairperson
for choosing me as Editor for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gangotriâ&#x20AC;? Region Conference Souvenir. We are all proud to be
members of Lions Clubs International. It is the largest service club organisation in the world
with 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs worldwide. Lions Clubs are everywhere.
Lions men and women who are active in community projects in more than 207 countries and
geographic areas. Lions Clubs are best known for fighting blindness. We thank our founder
Melvin Jones for giving us opportunity to serve the poor and needy people in the community
through Lions Clubs.
During this conference all clubs together conduct good service activities like
distribution of Sewing Machines, Tricycles, Artificial Limbs etc.
Region Conference gives us a great opportunity to meet all club members together
and exchange our views for a good cause. It is a good platform to recognise the services
rendered by the dedicated & committed Lions by giving mementoes to them. All the clubs
will get opportunity to speak about the service activities done by different clubs. Many nonlions are also invited to witness the function and to see the discipline maintained by the Lion
members during banner presentation and other activities during conference.
All Lions will enjoy the hospitality of the Host Club i.e. LC Hyderabad Ankit. Everybody
will remember the conference for ever and carry the sweet memories.
We are bringing out a souvenir during Region Conference. This is a good opportunity
for people to know about the clubs doing excellent service activities, conducting Mega Health
Camps, their permanent projects and the awards received by the club members.
Region Chairperson Lion Dr. D.Ashok has formed different committees with dynamic
& experienced Lions as team leaders to organise this Region Conference systematically. In
this conference all the active clubs and other active Lions of our Region will be recognised for
their dedicated and committed service.
My Sincere thanks to all the advertisers, donors, all the committee members and all
the club members for participating in large numbers will make the conference a grand success.

Lion Dr.D.Ashok mjf
Region Chairperson

Lions, Lionesses, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to
address the Region Conference of Region-I, District 316 B, named ‘GANGOTRI
REGION CONFERENCE’.
Lions Clubs International is a vibrant International service organization which has a
huge workforce, more than 1.3 million strong. It has the world’s largest extended
family with an attitude: we serve. With an ethic of voluntary service as a duty, of
compassion delivered with passion, it represent a vast repository of human goodness
in a world where too much of the news seems relentlessly depressing. I am intensely
gratified to be a part of an organization whose work, whose very existence, in fact, is
a beacon of hope in a profoundly unfair, lopsided world of vast privilege, hoarded by
the billionaires, the multi-millionaires, indifferent to the misery, the poor health, the
early deaths from entirely preventable causes, of the bottom billion, the people who
are down to the last cent.
Graciously I am elated to chair the Region-I of District 316 B, which constitutes 14
Clubs and an enterprising network of four energetic Zone Chairpersons and four
constructive Zone Membership Advisors. I would like to intensely thank Lion N N
Murthy our esteemed District Governor for giving me this assignment. Region-I is
proud to have eight Lions having completed 50 years service in Lionism. Another
important appreciation to the region would be a positive growth in membership and
enrollment of 4 new Lions as mjfs, which totals to 57 Lions holding Melvin Jones
Fellowship.

I am proud that my home club Lions Club of Hyderabad Ankit stands no.1 in the
Region in new members’ induction. Region-I stays advanced by upgrading itself by
attending International Leadership Training at Advanced Lions Leadership Institute,
held at Ghaziabad, on 5th of October, 2012. Ardently, the interesting thing about this
program is, two of the three Lions of this District who took part in this training,
belong to Region – I. Any advancement through this training solely credits to
Lion P Ramesh Chandra Babu and Lion Y V Ramachandra Rao.
Lion G K Ramana, former Region Chairperson and a dedicated Lion was given the
assignment of Conference Chairperson. His rich experience in hosting the conference
and an enthusiastic support from my home club Lions Club of Hyderabad Ankit,
compositely shall win the hearts of all the Lions who eye witness the conference.
I have to place on record the excellent contribution of my home Club President
Lion Dr D Sarasija for her untiring efforts to make this Region vibrant with service
activities and a concord team work.
Finally I would like to thank the entire Lions’ team who has put in efforts in architecture
and carving of this conference and make it grandeur raising the slogan ‘Nobility
Nurtures Mankind’.

Dear Lion Dr D Ashok,
Congratulations on your successful journey as the Region Chairperson of Region - I,
District 316 B. Being a one among this concord region, I am excited to celebrate the
most looked forward occasion of the year. It is very important to ink all the
achievements and activities of the Region on a souvenir, for the inspiration and learning
of fellow Lions.
I am happy to learn that in your focused guidance, the Region has performed in an
energetic and constructive manner with a slogan 'forget "me" to project "we".
However all this would not happen without your commitment, dedication and sincere
thinking to be at your best.
Region-I in our District has a distinctive composite of talent, serving the people who
are down to last cent. Lions Fraternity coming from mixture of seniors and juniors.
Region has created a converse environment with a blend of Lions with different abilities
and aptitudes.
Region-I under your capacity is well poised to show case a Region that will speak of
Excellence, Commitment and Dedication towards Lionism. Having served the District
as a Region Chairperson earlier I volunteered to take an active part in this Region and
I offered my services. I am elated to actively participate and take up the assignment
to chair the conference.
I am certain that this wonderful event will win the hearts of all the Lions who witness
it and inspire them to ensure a sincere and candid commitment towards Lionism.
We would like to see Nobility Nurtures Mankind

International Director
Dear Dr Ashok,
Greetings! It is extremely delightful to watch your performance as a Region Chairperson
of our District. Having observed your commitment to Lionism for over 7 years now, and
the key support you had extended to help keep LC HYD Ankit active, I am glad that you
are the Region Chair.
You are a highly qualified professional and a leader who has seen various trends in Lionism.
I believe you must take on the task of rebuilding the enthusiasm in Lions to passionately
steer our organization.
The strength of an organization is its members. Unless our members are motivated by
the quality of programs we undertake; by the content of the activity they are associated
with and the Leadership opportunities that are offered to them, they may not turn very
productive members.
We must all work towards enhancing the relevance of Lionism to be able to relate to its
members and their needs. Let us create such opportunities.
We are only known by what we give or by what we create! When we only participate, we
often speak about others and their deeds. But when we play, others participating will
speak about us.
My compliments to the Clubs in your Region for the outstanding work they have done
during this year and to the team of Zone Chairpersons for the contributions they have
made.
May this Region Conference spark off new avenues for members and Clubs to add glory
to Lionism.
With fond regards,
Sincerely yours
Sunil Kumar R

have completed 50 years in Lionism. All of them

Melvin Jones
Melvin Jones
FOUNDER OF
Lions Clubs International
Melvin Jones was born on January 13, 1879, at Fort Thomas Arizona.
At age 33 he was the sole owner of his own insurance agency in Chicago,
Illinois and became a member of the local business circle. After two years, he
felt that as influential businessmen, their talents could be better utilized in
other areas of community life.
In 1917 after pursuing this thought for four years they formed what is
now known as LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL with 27 clubs from around
the United States.
The Association became international in 1920, when the Lions of Detroit chartered the Windsor Ontario Lions Club, in Canada, In 1950, Melvin
Jones was conferred the title of SECRETARY GENERAL of LIONS INTERNATIONAL for life.
Since that time Lions organizations have grown to over 1.4 million
members in over 46,000 clubs in 207 countries.
Melvin Jones the founder of this great service organization, died in
1961. His philosophy of life, “you can’t get very far until you start doing something for somebody else,” lives in our motto “WE SERVE.”
In 1961 the International Board of Directors proclaimed January 13
(the birthday of our founder, Melvin Jones) as a day of memory each year
through out the world of Lionism. Founders and Rededication month traditionally observed in January, shall thereafter be designated as Melvin Jones
Memorial month.

Flag Salutation
We salute our national flag and pledge our allegiance to the same. Its
honour and its glory depend upon the zeal and assiduity with which
each one of us will shoulder the responsibilities of a good citizen.
Its history written in letters of gold inspires us to put in good work for
the fair name of our country.
We declare our unflinching loyalty to our national flag and maintain
that its course shall be our course and that each individual amongst us
shall make genuine efforts to add to its lustre and glory and make it fly
proudly aloft in the commity of nations.

Dear Lion Dr. Ashok,
I am happy to felicitate you and every Lion of your Region at your Region Conference
scheduled for 17th February 2013 and wish you all a memorable Region Conference.
Let us remember that we belong to the world wide largest service organization, the
charm of Lionism is its capacity to transcend Nations and all barriers of colour, creed,
religion and language. It is very necessary that we should believe in it and enjoy the
feeling that we are proud to be Lions with a powerful motto We Serve.
Region Conference show cases your Region Clubs various activities and brings the
awareness in the community what the Lions are doing. This maintains very good
public relations and the new entrant will be happy that he is a part of this largest
service organization.
Maintain good service activities and quality membership and enjoy Lionism. All the
Best for your Region Conference.

Yours in Lionism

Vehicular Pollution

Lion P.Ramesh Chandra Babu

District Addl.Cabinet Secretary
Introduction :
The exhaust fumes coming out of the tail-pipe of vehicle, contains many polluting substances which is
a major contributor for environmental damage and diseases. One research study says that 2.5 million
people estimated to die prematurely each year from pollution related ailments. It is estimated that
currently our country is losing over 10% of its GDP in costs associated with damage to the environment
and degradation of the country's natural resources.
Air pollution and other health hazards caused by vehicles have reached an alarming proportion in the
country. The vehicle population in the country has grown from 0.3 million (1951) to 25.34 million
(1993) and contributing now around 50 to 60% of the total air pollution in the cities. This is mainly
contributed by cars. Two wheelers, three wheelers as they have old and ill-maintained engines, in
which nearly 30% of the fuel remains unburnt.
Vehicular Pollutants:
The main pollutants emitted in the automobile exhaust gases are Carbon Monoxide (CO), Lead Aerosol,
Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Oxides and heterogeneous group of Hydro Carbons. Apart from this, smoke
(0.01 to 1 micron), Mists (2 to 200 micron) and particulate matter (1 to 200 micron) are also formed
due to incomplete combustion and solid impurity contents of the fuel. In particular the diesel operated
vehicles emit more toxic pollutants. The approximate composition of pollutants operated by diesel
operated engines per km run would be, Carbon Dioxide 1 Kg/Km; Carbon Monoxide, Oxides of Nitrogen,
Hydrocarbons and particulate matter 0.1 to 20 g/km and hydrocarbons in micron g / km.
Effects of Pollutants :
Human Health
1. Carbon Monoxide : Hinders oxygen supply from blood into the tissues as it combines with the iron
in the hemoglobin and thereby replacing oxygen in the hemoglobin, leading to variety of ailments.
2. Respirable particular matter : 0.2 to 10 micron size of particulate matter can go directly into the
lungs causing bronchial problems and allergic asthma.
3. Lead : has a deleterious effect on the human health. It attacks blood, kidneys and the central
nervous system. It can cause anemia, kidney failure, permanent brain damage and finally death also.
Environment :
The pollutants such as SO2&NOx from acid rain and affects some times vegetarian, soil surfaces;
darken sky through formation of smoke leading to limited visibility; corrosion of metals. Plants may be
damaged by acute injury in which pollutants attach the cells resulting in chronic effects related to
disruption of chlorophyll synthesis and thereby affecting the net yield of crops / fruits.
Sources of Vehicular Pollution :
Vehicular emissions originate from changes in the driving cycle (transient or steady state), engine

conditions (injection and aspiration techniques, maintenance, total mileage), incomplete combustion
and air / fuel ration. Main places where pollution originates from the vehicle include engine crankcase,
exhaust system, the carburetor and the fuel tank. The emission of particulate matter increases with
decrease in air/fuel ratio, increasing load and temperature. Malfunction of engine devices, especially
fuel injection system, increases the emissions of the main exhaust components.
Pollution Control Measures:
Following measures may be adopted to reduce emission.
Modification of engine design to improve fuel combustion efficiency.
Exhaust gas re-circulation for ensuring complete combustion.
Use of particle traps for removing particulate matter.

Importance of Vitamin D Deficiency
Today Vitamin D ratio in human body has
become an important factor in maintaining an healthy and fit body and avoid dangerous diseases caused by the deficiency
of this vitamin. The researchers are still
not sure why this is happening apart from
the fact that we spend too much time indoors and when we go out into the sun,
we lather sunscreen on ourselves. I think
it must be more than that. But whatever
the reason, the reality is we have a major
epidemic on our hands.
Diseases : Vitamin D deficiency has shown to play a role in almost every major disease such
as Osteoporosis and Osteopenia, 17 varieties of Cancer (including breast, prostate and colon), Heart disease, High blood pressure, Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes, Autoimmune diseases, Multiple sclerosis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Bursitis, Gout,
Infertility, PMS, Parkinson's Disease, Depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Alzheimer's
Disease, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Periodontal disease and
Psoriasis.
Symptoms : There is no clear pattern of symptoms. In fact many people remain asymptomatic despite low levels. But some of the most common symptoms are Fatigue, General muscle
pain and weakness, Muscle cramps, Joint pains, Chronic pain, Weight gain, High blood pressure, Restless sleep, Poor concentration, Headaches, Bladder problems, Constipation or
diarrhea.
Vitamin Sources : The vital vitamin sources of vitamin D are sunlight, healthy cereals, fortified milk, fatty fish, butter, margarine, cheese etc.
Next Step : My peer request is to rush to your nearest diagnostic centre and ensure yourself
a fit and energetic health.
Yours Lion G K Ramana, M:9849031601
